Sok66 / Jerry McGeorge - Eddie is a Dick and I Have PROUDLY BEEN SELF Banned Again

[wayoflife]

You just like to insult people. I'm a former ASE Master Tech, retired auto industry exec (Ford Motor), consulting firm CEO, decades long Jeeper, current 4x4 club President, etc.

:yawn37: I'm a nobody who runs a forum, have no experience with anything let alone Jeep related, currently is the scorn of TeraFlex fanboys and threatened by self-important balding guys.

I'll be sure to tell my corporate contacts about my experiences here on Wayalife, I'm sure they'll be interested in sponsoring you.

Say it isn't so!! The world will surely come to an end without the financial help of your "corporate contacts"!! :cheesy:

So in real world, layman's terms you were: a mechanic, a car salesman, you had/have an LLC, you have driven off road, and you decided where a group of off road vehicles would go driving. Church it up all you want, you really aren't that savvy with building up jeeps with the advice you have been giving out. Nothing shows the true lack of access and placement than that of dropping names and threats of important people. I feel sad that someone of your age is pretending to be someone special.

:cheesy: But, but, he's a TeraFlex fanboy - they are the savviest of savvy when it comes to building up Jeeps!! I mean, anytime they hear anyone say anything less than stellar about their beloved products on the internet, they have to defend it with every ounce of who they are.

There are virtually NO welds on that bracket other than at the very front. Frame wasn't even prepped. Instructions CLEARLY state it is to be welded the entire perimeter.

Hey hotshot mechanic, a car salesman, LLC owner, off road driver and group destination decider, I was there when the OP's break occurred and if you ask him, he would tell you that I told him his installer blew the install. Since you seemed to have missed it more than once, my hope was that Highoctane would have chimed in as he's gone through a few failures and he DID install it correctly. Unfortunately, he is currently overseas and doesn't obsess over things said on the internet like you. Of course, you don't need to take my word for it, give Mel at Off Road Evolution a call and ask him how many breaks has he seen over the years. And, if TeraFlex were really a stand up honest company, they would tell you the truth too - albeit they would say all the breaks were install error.

Dennis did an excellent video on the install as well.

Didn't know the video was required reading material in order to install their long arm kit. It's a good thing they include a copy of it in the box.... oh, that's right, they don't. Stupid installers :naw:

That guy's lucky that was the only thing that happened.

Not really, he still had 3 other control arms. But, when it comes to their tire carrier and front track bar, TeraFlex is just lucky nobody has gotten killed yet. Of course, they would just say it's the installers fault so I'm sure their conscious is clean. :naw:

 

[wayoflife]

Actually, I was service operations director for a Ford division. And I'll match knowledgebase with you any time you'd like.

I'm still waiting for your extensive knowledge base to show me where I can find the well documented post I made regarding an amazing Synergy drag link break I supposedly had on Double Whammy. I mean, what kind of reputable hotshot mechanic, car salesman, LLC owner, off road driver and group destination decider would make up a lame ass story like that up and even declare that they had actually witnessed it? Oh yeah, your knowledge base is sound and rooted in facts. Everyone should embrace it like the holy grail. :cheesy:

We'll let you kiddies prattle on with your vendor bashing...

Just because you don't like what you hear doesn't mean any vendor is getting bashed and really, even if they were, why fanboys like you would get so personally butthurt for them is beyond me.

...at some point you'll likely hear from their attorneys.

Yeah, I'm quaking in my boots. :yawn37: You should just hope your beloved TeraFlex doesn't hear from an attorney of family who got really hurt or worse due to a tire carrier breaking off or front track bar break. Oh, that's right, they'd have no case because it'd be the installers fault that it failed. :naw:

...Stay classy, kids!

You bet! When I grow up, I just hope I can be as cool as you :crazy eyes:

That's right...there is a Holiday Inn in Durango. I almost forgot.

Lawyers? Cool! Have them post up. I'd love to talk to them.

Well there was a time jaguar was a division of Ford (I think), maybe it was when Ford also had Aston Martin and Land Rover?

Regardless, he probably assumed Ford sounds more 'Merican to jeep guys and buys more credibility. When the truth is the majority of the members here appreciate brutal honesty and respect it more than dodging questions and not being up front about yourself.

Cannot hide from public domain knowledge you put out there.....

The Jaguar and Ford alliance made for some of the worst years in both manufacturers history.

Guess this guy was a big part of that. Lol

Well THAT is some serious off-roading.

For the record, he has not been banned. Just acting like a tough guy probably because he doesn't want to respond to his ski rental business.

I may be way late to the discussion on this, but I stumbled across a link to this thread in Eddie's discussion on the TF tire carrier over on Facebook. I apologize if the following has already been discussed. I wanted to point out some things that are clearly evident in the OP's photos. First, that is a very poor installation of the older Teraflex long arm brackets. The were to have been welded in all spots that contact the frame, both front & rear. In the case of the front bracket the installer only welded the front edge to the frame, nowhere else. Because it wasn't restrained by welds, the resulting flex stresses allowed the bracket to snap in a place that most likely would not have had it been properly welded to the frame per the instructions. With regard to the rear bracket, again, it was to have been welded around the entire perimeter of the bracket where it contacts the frame. The installer negected to do so. Lastly, re: the old issue of the TF bracket cracking & pulling the frame at the rear welds, Teraflex became aware early on of these cracks. The frame material is quite thin in that area and Teraflex added a frame reinforcement plate to their long arm kit to eliminate the problem. Has been part of their kit for about four or five years now. They were also providing the reinforcement plate and new brackets FOC to customers. With regard to both the front & rear brackets, Teraflex updated their design some time ago, adding reinforcement gussets plus the reinforcement plate. So, if properly installed the newer Teraflex long arm kits won't experience these issues. Just pointing out in general that "weld-on" long arm kits have inherent critical variables that depend upon the customer or their installer having expert welding skills. Not always the case. This is where "bolt-on" kits have a big advantage in some cases, all other things being equal. I've frankly expected all the JK suspension manufacturers to go bolt-on because of this, but in TF's case they've stuck with their design.

Hey ford exec, that's my jeep in the original pic from almost 1.75 years ago(!!!) The problem was two fold, as mentioned installer error was a part of it, no penetration in the welds...the other part was the horribly designed bracket...and add a third fold their instructions were piss poor not including guidance about welding the perimeter. I've had the kit on my Jeep since March of '09 which I believe was somewhat early into the Terabreak long arm kit life. Btw my kit didn't include the rear upper gussets. Offroad Evolution informed me that they were available and highly recommended adding them when I had it down there for some major work. I did have the bracket repaired and reveled with the perimeter and it failed again....Teraflex sent me the redesigned bracket and that's currently installed and I'm waiting for it to break. I'd like to think I wheel my jeep harder than most of the teraflex pavement princesses you see at your auto mall. But really I just hit curbs at Starbucks.

Can you get me a better discount on an F150 than my X plan? I'd like to eventually get an F150 or maybe a RAM.

Why am I not surprised. Typical wannabe douche trying to make it seem like he was banned when the real truth is that he couldn't back up the bullshit he was bringing.

I can't but apparently, Jerry McGeorge is an expert at it. People should really listen to him when he says how awesome TeraFlex products are.

If you read my post insred of pre-loading your wise crack responses you'd see I agree with Mel. I'm just saying the mfrs are going bolt-n to eliminate the install variability of installer welding skills.

dont really need to be an ase certified master tech to notice that the metal is cracking and not the welds... however if you wanna whip out the certs im not former or retired im still active and a master tech as well and i can tell you professionally that my certs did NOT help me to spot a crack that was not on a weld... just a good pair of eyes... but then again thats the type of thinking they encourage at ford... just like the 450 dollar air filter for the 05+ focus. i see why you and teraflex are bedroom buddies :thumb:

well that depends on if your certificates are recognized by the manufacturer. I agree a good pair of eyes will spot a crack every time.
